India were already in a good position at the start of day 2 with them being three down at 224 and two set batsmen in Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane at the crease.

Rahane soon raced to his century and then played a few free-stroking shots. The stylish batsman got out in the process. This ended the marathon 200+ run partnership between the two Mumbai batsmen.

Rohit Sharma then had a good little partnership with Ravindra Jadeja as he walked off for lunch at 199. This was Sharma's 3rd century of the series which he finally converted into a double ton, shortly after the break.

?? 200 FOR ROHIT SHARMA ??

He's recorded three double centuries in ODI cricket, and now he has one in Tests too ??

What a knock this has been from the India opener!

Ravindra Jadeja also went on to notch up a half-century. Five towering sixes from Umesh Yadav towards the end allowed India to declare at 497-9. Kagiso Rabada and George Linde were the pick of the bowlers, snapping up 3 and 4 wickets respectively.

The deteriorating light only gave India time to unleash their bowlers for 5 overs but those were enough as Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav, in the only one over each they got to bowl, dismissed Dean Elgar and Quinton de Kock off sharply rising deliveries.
